About Feedly

Feedly is the largest RSS reader on the web, with a free tier capped at 100 feeds and Pro/Pro+ plans that layer on AI summaries (Leo), team boards, web alerts, and enterprise intelligence. Pro is $6.99/mo, Pro+ is $12.99/mo (annual billing only), and Enterprise covers the threat and market intelligence verticals at custom pricing. The product has spent the last several years pivoting from consumer RSS to a serious monitoring and research platform. The free tier is still a legitimate RSS reader; the paid tiers are increasingly aimed at analysts, PR teams, and security researchers who need to track topics across thousands of sources.

About Omnivore

Omnivore was a free, open-source read-later app that did everything right on paper: RSS feeds, newsletter inbox, PDFs, highlights, labels, filters, rules, full-text search, a GraphQL API that returned markdown, and sync with Logseq, Obsidian, and Notion. It ran on iOS, macOS, Android, web, and extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It shut down on November 15, 2024 after ElevenLabs acquired the team for their ElevenReader TTS product. The cloud service deleted all user data; the open-source codebase still lives on GitHub for anyone who wants to self-host.
